MY $470/MONTH JAPANESE APARTMENT TOUR| LEOPALACE APARTMENT 2023  

Wow that's a great apartment and a great price. Its surprisingly spacious and I love the separation of the bathroom, toilet, and living space. Thanks for the in depth tour!

Omg! I feel like it's so rare to find jamaicans on youtube, much less in japan! So happy to find your channel🙌🏽

It's very nice and a lot of natural light 😊

Honestly it's very small but also kind of perfectly formed, if that makes sense. There's certainly enough for most single people. Maybe enough for a couple! It's a lovely little place, regardless. What do you do for work (also, you mentioned school)? Have you lived in Japan long? Your video got recommended to me out of nowhere but I'm glad. It was fun to have a look at a Japanese apartment. :)

This helped so much, awesome vid

Your set up is almost like a studio apartment. Compared to what others post, you're lucky to have found this. You might have more shoe space if you stored them stacking the one shoe, heel to toe atop the other for some of them that can be. If you have the space for a shoe rack or cabinet, that might also help. The closet you have in your entryway looks as if you can only place a pair on each level, which might be when they built it, they lacked the space for more depth. If you have the space in the closet, go vertical and stack another storage bin set atop the other. You might need to put a piece of wood between them for stabilization but that would add more space. If you can for the top shelf, try to go to the top where possible with the storage. It's pretty standard in most Asian countries to need to use dehumidifier products. Perhaps a dehumidifier unit could be plugged in? That's if you have an outlet. I live in the US Midwest and I have one though it does add some heat to the room temperature when it runs. I can fill the container up enough in that I could flush the toilet without flushing in getting rid of the water. In regards to the washer in the bathroom, many French homes have the same. They have a drum washer that you fill from the top and it works in the same fashion as a front loading washer does, only vertically. Cold water fill/washing is also common in Japan and the Bold you use which is similar to Gain in North America is P&G's fragrance product there. European washers also have cold fill but they have internal heaters and why it takes a while to wash some loads. You have adequate storage space and if you need more, some in-cabinet storage aids might be your solution to manage what you have. When you are in stores that sell such, visualize what might work best for your needs if you are in a buying mode. If water is hard in Japan, you might need a bathroom cleaner that can cut the mineral buildup in your soaking tub. Myself, I would likely use it for showering. Use of any non-soap product in the tub should not lead to buildup. Applying yes, car wax, to the sides of the tub will also keep the build up down, reapplying when needed. In the toilet room, you also have vertical space that you can use storage aids with if desired to add more. While the area is open and not closed there's still the ability to put up a curtain with a spring rod if you desire to for the tub room as I think you said it had no door of its own. As I have a split wall between my kitchen and living room, I used shower curtains and rods to "'curtain" off my space to make it feel like I have two rooms instead of one with a half wall. I did the same for my entry hall and with a spring rod, for the inside wall that meets the split wall into the kitchen. You do have a better kitchen area than most as it's walled in. There too, under the sink lends itself to some organization aids if you feel the need as well as in other cabinets. Your refrigerator is apartment style as even in the US, they have smaller ones for apartments as some of my neighbors have smaller ones in the same space where I have a larger one. You do have the standard cooking set up with burner top and "fish grill" While you can likely cook other things that lend themselves to broiler cooking, you still need a toaster oven for traditional baking and other oven cooking. You do show good use of the living/sleeping space as you have zoned it off as one would need to in an open studio space. If you wish to hide the storage under the stand for the TV, make or buy a cover of some sort to set the TV on. When buying storage ottomans, those with harder covers/build lend themselves for seating or use as an end table as a tray atop one can be used for decorative or other effect. As you have the space at the foot of the bed, a bench seat/storage ottoman would give you storage and an extra place to sit. Having a storage bed is wise indeed. Platform bed frames do the same for others and there are bed risers (I recommend the steel ones) for those with standard frames. I watch these type of videos for inspiration on how to meet my own storage needs as in Japan, the no nail policy of landlords, has shown me what types of products I might be able to use myself. While Daiso does have US mail order, they don't have the complete product lines that they do in Japan for sale. Still, some clever stuff that is better quality than what I would find in similar US stores and good pricing too. UPS shipping, not so much. Thank you for an enjoyable video to watch and my comments are not meant to criticize how you live but rather on what I see that might help to make it even better.

Great video! I think the place is great! Nice set up too!

I love the set up. You did good.

I love that the tin didn’t have thread ahahaha!!!!!

Eyy jst saw ur channel now n I luv ur vibe gal .... Keep it up Wat course are you doing

Looks way bigger than 34m2 though. I live in a comparable space 400 sqft (37m2), and this looks a lot bigger

I would suggest pink curtains, you look great.

You look lovely 😊

What kind of work do you do to be able to live in Japan? Are you an English teacher? I really want to come to Japan but i don't know how i could afford it

Its not a bad rent considering you're living in Japan but do you have to pay for utilities too? This apartment design reminds me of how some of them are still in Canada. The rents here would be 5 times higher tho. I guess you're living in a small city or town. Are these shoes all yours??😆😆 Good Luck girl 👍

Where did you get that hanging containers on the shower rod?

Hello sis I’m planning on coming over to Japan can we keep in touch because I have no one there 😢

Hi!, Please how were you able to buy everything new (at a go) and also pay for your apartment with the salary you earn and all the deductions? Have you gone back to the part time job you were doing?.

Hi! Where did you find the apartment?

New sub.

What city is this? It’s not fully furnished?

U not using the blue tin pan on the fridge probably. 😂😂😂

You cute tho

Heyo shanda ur twitter link might be wrong
